103.7 84.1
11 - added Coro::Debug, interactive coroutine debugging. 9 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
10 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
11 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
12 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
13 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
14 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
15 speeds up context switching a bit.
16 - further tune default stack sizes.
17 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
18 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
19 resulting in races between coroutines.
20 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
21 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
22 an unrelated coroutine.
23 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
24 more detail in Coro::State.
25
264.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
27 - added Coro::throw method.
28 - minor code cleanups.
29
304.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
31 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
32 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
33 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
34 or use tracing).
35 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
36 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
37 about 2-5% speed improvement here.
38
394.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
40 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
41 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
42
434.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
44 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
45 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
46 debugging, tracing and much more.
47 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
48 "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
49 of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
50 flags.
51 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
12 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust. 52 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
13 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval. 53 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
14 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
15 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}. 54 - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
55 - added Coro::killall.
16 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines". 56 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
57 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
58 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
59 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
60 - refuse to transfer while compiling.
61 - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
62 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
63 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
17 - many minor tweaks. 64 - many minor tweaks.
